WATCH THIS SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT A COACH CAN HAVE ON YOUR LIFE!!!

Sometimes we feel like we can conquer the world on our own and that’s great. But a true achiever seeks assistance from other experts.

The best of champions in sports, business, and life all need coaches, so why don’t the average person who desires to hit a health and fitness goal not need one? Here are a few issues that ly in the way of hiring a coach:

1. Can be intimidating
2. Great coaches are expensive
3. Time issues may occur
4. Don’t know where to start in looking for a coach
5. Friends and loved ones keep telling me I don’t need a fitness coach
6. They tell you what you need to hear not what you want to hear

Those excuses are issues tend to pop up when looking for a solution to your challenges. Well hiring a coach is the last component of designing a program when it comes to truly achieving your goals. It is crucially important that you do not skip this step or treat it lightly.

A coach can provide a 50,000 foot view; meaning they can look from the top down and see where your strengths and weaknesses lie. They are able to listen to your language when you speak, view your body language, and study your performance through a program. An outstanding coach will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear.

Sometimes hearing the truth can be a little bit of a stinger. We all at some point in our life hear the truths that knock us down, but an outstanding coach will teach you how to utilize that truth to your advantage. They will show you strategies on how to turn your life around and recapture your health.

That is what Breakthroughs To Fitness prides itself on here on Long Island. We assist our clients incorporate health strategies and life strategies into their life so they are equipped with tools to create lasting change. Some only require a coach for different segments or timeframes of their life. Others require them for a consistent long period of time until they can have their BREAKTHROUGH!

Whether you live in the area or not, we can assist you in having that breakthrough so you can transform your body in record time. For those in the area, we will grant a free consultation with one of our coaches by visiting the link below:

It’s finally here!

The time of year everyone waits for to recreate their lives and step up to the plate.

Our Breakthrough tip for the 2009 start is to never look back. Constantly reframe your mind to act and think in the present and always moving forward. The minute you look back at 2008, you will question the goals you didn’t accomplish and it will discourage you from moving forward.

What you do today is what counts. Not what you did yesterday.

So let’s make it a fantastic year together and create amazing results.

For those who are local in the Long Island area, we have a way for you to truly receive an accurate measurement of your metabolism. For those outside of our area, seek out a professional to perform the test we have below in our video.

NO MORE GUESSWORK!

NO MORE FRUSTRATION!

NO MORE ESTIMATIONS!

NO MORE WASTED INVESTMENTS

If you truly want to succeed watch the video below of Coach Rahz performing the metabolic fingerprint test. It’s a measurement that everyone should have taken once a month going forward in 2009 (unless you want to keep guessing)

P.S. Have a Happy and Healthy New Year. Stay tuned for many great things Breakthroughs To Fitness will be offering to ensure you have the healthiest and best year ever.

Christmas eve has ended, and I am lying in bed reflecting on the day before it’s ligts out.

It was a great day spending time with the in laws for the first time here in Connecticut. I am very happy to have them in my life because of the values and family support they offer.

But the breakthrough occured before we even left brooklyn this morning.

My sister is getting married and has been struggling with the fact that her wedding is 9 months away and she has not been in the gym since we last trained a few weeks ago.

People tend to freak out when events like this occur. They feel so overwhelmed that no matter how much time they have, it’s never enough.

That’s a limiting belief that many require to drop. Freaking out and complaining about the situation will only make it worse and in the end you will be further away then where you started.

Here are the tips I gave jeanne to release her tension on the.wedding:

1. Cut the crap and focus on the end result. Stop worrying where you are and visualize where you want to be.
2. When you have a vision, write down goals you want to hit and break them down into smaller segments. Measure results at end of each month.
3. Stop making excuses why you aren’t going to the gym and eating healthy. Just accept you haven’t done what is necessary and move on.

Sometimes you have to be blunt and straight with people. Tell them what they need to hear and not what they want to hear.

So my objective, since it will be hard to physically coach her since distance, is to support her via phone and email to empower to complete small tasks.

I will keep you posted in how well she does with breakthrough methods via electronic means.

Do we all require a coach to physically be by our sides to accomplish great things, or is it possible to be great with mentoring skills via electronic means?

What if all the guess work was taken out of the equation?

What if the missing link to reaching your fitness goals was one number?

What if you could have access to that number without having to thousands of dollars for hospital equipment?

Until recently, there was no convenient or affordable way to measure your metabolism. Breakthroughs To Fitness can now easily and quickly determine an individuals metabolic rate with a simple breath test that can be administered in 10 minutes or less.

The Breakthrough technology that is hitting the North Shore Long Island is the BodyGem!

This portable equipment allows Breakthroughs To Fitness several benefits:

• We are able to transport equipment easily into homes, facilities, hospitals, or health professional’s offices to perform the BodyGem test.
• We are now able to give clients accurate counts on their RMR (resting metabolic rate) instead of using math formulas that do not account for different variables within the body and environment.
• We are able to assist dieticians, nutritionists, doctors, and hospitals with this technology to increase the value for patients and to educate them on their caloric needs

Why would someone want their metabolism measured?

A metabolic measurement will determine how many calories your body needs to meet your goals. Specifically, a BodyGem measurement might be right for you if you are

• Trying to lose weight
• Trying to maintain weight
• Interested in improving overall health and fitness
• Looking to add additional lean muscle tissue without sacrificing some along the way
• Diagnosed with diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or other weight-related conditions

So as you can see, this measurement is key for everybody. Understanding where your RMR is each month will make it that much easier to reach your goals instead of just guessing. At the same time, as your RMR increases, it is a sign that your health and conditioning is increasing as well.

Most times we severely underestimate or overestimate our caloric intake, yet we feel we are on track. However, majority of people plateau and do not understand why. This is why it is crucial to see whether your RMR is increasing or decreasing each month.

Here at breakthroughs, we are extremely excited to be able to offer this measurement exclusively on Long Island.

Want to truly give a gift of life for the holidays?

Buy a gift certificate for your loved ones. It will change their health dramatically. Not only will they receive their RMR, they will receive expert guidance from a B2F Coach to create the results they deserve in 2009.

Better yet, you deserve one as well. Treat yourself to this gift. This measurement is better then material gift you will receive. Breakthroughs To Fitness will put a stamp of approval on this breakthrough technology.

As always though, we are here to educate, empower, and inspire individuals to create the bodies and health they deserve. Therefore, we will keep posting on the importance of metabolism and the factors that play a role within your body’s chemistry set.

Metabolism is such a crucial part of your life when it comes to seriously reaching your goals. Are you prepared to do what it takes to make 2009 your best year ever?

I learned a valuable lesson the other day. I was listening to a CD that talked about the psychology of asking. Within the CD the author asked “how many people’s lives did you add value to today?”

When I finished up with a client in the mid afternoon, I noticed a homeless woman pushing a shopping cart up a steep hill collecting bottles in freezing weather.

It didn’t phase me until I got into my car and heard the same CD. I remembered the question “how many lives did you add value to today?”

I shook my head and said aloud “Not Enough.” So I went to the local gas station and bought a cup of coffee and bagel with butter. I also noticed 1 glove in my car that I haven’t worn for a few years that was still in great shape. Unfortunately I only had one .

When I approached the woman with these items, her face lit up with such joy and it put a smile on my face. I knew then that I just added value to someone’s life.

Now everyday, I think to myself how can I add value to more people on a daily basis whether within my career of coaching or in general life.

This post has nothing to do with fitness or nutrition. It has to do with VALUE. How much value can we give to people all around? I’m talking year round, not just during the holidays.
